Yes it can. A regular octagon cannot.


What type of underlayment do you need when installing tile floor?

Before installing tile flooring, you need a clean FLAT surface. Tile is not a flexible material so the flat surface ensures the tile will match up correctly. You also need to sand the underneath flooring so that the grout and tile cement will be able to form a cohesive nature with tile and permanently fix the tile to the surface.


Can an octagon and another octagon tile with each other?

yes


Does a octagon tile the plane?

A regular octagon will not tessellate but an irregular one can.


Can squares and regular octagons tile a flat surface?

Yes, squares can tile a flat surface because their equal sides and right angles allow them to fit together without any gaps. Regular octagons, however, cannot tile a flat surface by themselves because their angles (135 degrees) do not allow for a perfect fit without leaving gaps. However, a combination of squares and octagons can tile a flat surface, as the squares can fill in the gaps created by the octagons. This arrangement is known as a semi-regular tiling.


Can an octagon tile with a square?

yes


Which regular polygons will fit together to tile a flat surface?

Triangles, squares and hexagons. That is if they all have to be the same. If you use different regular polygons, you can tile a flat surface with triangles and 12-sides or with squares and 8-sides for example.


When were ancient roman mosaics made?

Mosaics are made of small pieces of tile which form a design or a picture. This picture is affixed to a flat surface, usually a floor. You can liken them to our present day ceramic tile floors.Mosaics are made of small pieces of tile which form a design or a picture. This picture is affixed to a flat surface, usually a floor.

What of the following combinations will tile a flat surface?

To determine which combinations will tile a flat surface, you need to check if the shapes can cover the area without gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons like squares, equilateral triangles, and hexagons can tile a flat surface effectively. Some irregular shapes can also tile, but their specific arrangements must be analyzed. Generally, the key is that the interior angles of the shapes must add up to 360 degrees around a point where they meet.


Will a square and regular octagon tile?

Yes.


Can regular octagon tile the plane?

Not by itself.


Can regular pentagons and regular hexagons tile a flat surface?

Regular pentagons cannot tile a flat surface without leaving gaps, as their internal angles (108 degrees) do not allow for a perfect fit. In contrast, regular hexagons can tile a flat surface efficiently because their internal angles (120 degrees) allow them to fit together perfectly without any gaps. Thus, while hexagons are capable of tiling, pentagons are not.
